I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay to make things a bit more interesting, tip-off is at 10 pm ET on TNT. For picks on the side and total for the rest of Thursday’s Games, simply head over to our NBA predictions. Let’s dive into my SGP bet now!

Kevin Durant over 4.5 assists (-150)
Same Game Parlay odds: +632
Bradley Beal over 1.5 made threes (+164)
You might be wondering how come we’re getting such high odds for a proven player like Beal to score only two threes. Well, the answer is pretty simple. The 30-year old has struggled with injuries a lot this season and isn’t exactly performing like the player we saw put up 30 a night with the Washington Wizards. I’m confident it’s only a matter of time he turns things around, the Lakers might be the perfect team to do so against. He’s averaging 1.9 makes from three against them in the last 10 meetings, failing to clear this line on only two occasions. LA’s struggles defending the perimeter are well known around the NBA, they’re ranked only 21st in the league allowing opponents to shoot 38% from three. In their last 3 Games that number has gone up to a whopping 46.2%, the worst in the entire NBA during that stretch. Time for Beal to remind us just how good of an offensive player he is, so let’s back him to knock down a pair of threes here.
Anthony Davis to score 30+ points (-105)
AD has been putting up huge numbers for the Lakers for quite some time now. He’s upped his point per game average from 25.7 points to 29.9 per game over his last 10 outings. His efficiency is also through the roof in those 10 games – he’s at almost 60% from the field, 39% from three and over 80% from the foul line. With a unproven defender like Jusuf Nurkic trying to guard him tonight, Davis has a solid chance to dominate here. In the last 5 meetings with the Suns he’s posting 25.5 points per game, but with his recent good run of form I think he’ll be able to push that to 30 here. We just saw him put up 41 on the Toronto Raptors, that was the 3rd time in 4 games he’s scored at least 29 points. Phoenix just gave up 62 points from inside the paint against the Clippers, and allowed them to shoot 51.7% from deep. Look for AD to capitalize on their struggles tonight.
Kevin Durant over 4.5 assists (-150)
Kevin Durant has voiced his frustration many times with how things are going for him and his team, but he’s still delivered numbers despite the Suns struggles. He’s averaging 6.9 assists in his last 7 Games, the return of Bradley Beal from injury has given him another steady option to pass the ball to. He’s easily surpassed this line 8 times in his last 10 Games overall, he is a much bigger problem for opposing defenses when he concentrates on getting others involved instead of making shots. The Lakers have certainly felt that in the last 10 Games he’s played them – KD is averaging 5.9 assists during that stretch, he’s also cleared this line 8 times in those 10 Games. LA doesn’t really have a player to match-up with him here, so I wouldn’t be surprised if KD went off in this one.
